A formal solution in terms of cylindrical wave functions is obtained for the scattering of a plane acoustic or electromagnetic wave by an arbitrary configuration of parallel cylinders which takes into account all possible contributions to the excitation of a particular cylinder by the radiation scattered by the remaining cylinders. The solution, satisfying any of the usual prescribed boundary conditions simultaneously at the surface of each cylinder, is expressed as the incident wave plus a sum of various orders of scattering. The first order of scattering (the usual single scattering approximation) results from the excitation of each cylinder by only the plane wave or primary excitation. The second order results from the excitation of each cylinder by the first order of scattering from the remaining cylinders, and so on to an infinite order of scattering. The first order therefore consists of waves scattered by one cylinder; the second order of waves scattered by two cylinders, etc. The scattering coefficients of the m'th order of scattering are expressed recursively in terms of the previous orders, and finally as sums of products of m scattering coefficients of the single cylinder and Hankel and trigonometric functions depending on the geometry of the configuration.
